Reference no: EM133214680

Consider the Oakshire Brewing Company beer recall notice (posted on Kodiak). In particular, consider the instructions to consumers who have the product:

"Consumers: If you have Theme Mango Cheesecake in your possession, please do not open it. Do not attempt to transport or ship it. Do not attempt to return it. And do not remove the cans from the plastic holders.Dispose of the product by following these steps:

(i) Before disposing of any cans of Theme Mango Cheesecake, please put on protective gloves and a face shield (or goggles and a mask); (ii) Place all remaining Theme Mango Cheesecake cans in a closed box and place immediately in a securedgarbage container or dumpster outside."

1.  The recall notice gives very specific handling instructions for the affected product. These instructions call for the use of PPE, and ask the consumer to place the affected containers "in a secured garbage container or dumpster outside. Do you feel that these instructions are appropriate for consumers? Why or why not? 
2.  Imagine that you are an engineer working for Oakshire Brewing. You have been asked to review the proposed recall instructions for consumers (the quoted passage above) from a risk-management standpoint. Edit the warning with any changes that you think should be made. Explain your reasoning for any changes. If you don't feel that any changes are necessary, state your reasoning for this position. 
3. What changes would you propose to reduce the probability of this type of incident occurring in the future? 
4.  What changes would you propose to reduce the magnitude of harm should this incident occur in the future?
